Protective effects and mechanism of alisol B 23-acetate on acute alcoholic liver injury in mice
To investigate the protective effects and potential mechanism of alisol B 23-acetate on acute alcoholic liver injury in mice.
METHODS
2
Fifty male Kunming mice were divided into the blank group, model group, and alisol B 23-acetate low-, medium- and high-dose groups (10, 20, 40 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant drug solution or normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 2 consecutive weeks. On the 15th day, mice in the blank group were given normal saline intragastrically, while the other four groups were given 12 mL/kg white wine intragastrically, twice at six-hour intervals, to establish an acute alcoholic liver injury model. On the 16th day of the experiment, the liver indexes of mice in each group were calculated; the serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were also determined. The histopathological morphology of their liver tissues was observed and scored. The protein expressions of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) were measured in liver tissue.
RESULTS
2
Compared with model group, mice in each dosage group of alisol B 23-acetate showed varying degrees of recovery in body weight, along with improvements in pathological changes in liver tissues such as inflammatory cell infiltration and fatty vacu
oles. Their liver indexes, histopathological scores of liver tissue, serum levels of ALT, AST, TC, TG and MDA, as well as the protein expressions of CYP2E1 and Keap1 in liver tissue, were all significantly decreased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). The serum GSH levels and the protein expressions of Nrf2 (except for the alisol B 23-acetate low-dose group) and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01), and the changes in the above quantitative indicators showed a dose-dependent pattern.
CONCLUSIONS
2
Alisol B 23-acetate can ameliorate acute alcoholic liver injury in mice, and its mechanism may be related to improving antioxidant capacity by regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/NQO1 signaling pathway while simultaneously improving liver lipid metabolism-related indexes.
